Mendick is starting at second base and batting seventh in Wednesday's series finale versus the Guardians, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick will replace Leury Garcia in the lineup, who was a late scratch after originally being reported to be starting. The 28-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on May 5, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts since his return to the big-leagues.

Mendick was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was sent down Monday, but he'll rejoin the major-league club to provide depth after Andrew Vaughn (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Mendick is hitting .250 with a homer, two doubles, four runs and three RBI in the majors this year.

The White Sox optioned Mendick to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick and reliever Anderson Severino were the casualties as the White Sox needed to reduce their active roster from 28 to 26 men prior to Monday's deadline. The 28-year-old utility man started three straight games from April 24 through 27, but he went unused off the bench in each of Chicago's four games that followed.

Mendick is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick picked up starts in the last three games and went 3-for-10 with a solo home run and two additional runs during that stretch, but he's expected to see limited use as a utility man moving forward. Josh Harrison recently overcame a shoulder injury and Yoan Moncada (oblique) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Saturday, with the latter's eventual return from the 10-day injured list bringing the White Sox back to full strength in the infield.

Mendick went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Jake Burger has served as the team's primary third baseman with Yoan Moncada (oblique) and Josh Harrison (shoulder) sidelined. However, Mendick drew a spot start Sunday, and he delivered a solo homer to lead off the seventh inning for his first long ball of the season. Burger has only one hit across his last 19 at-bats, so it's possible that Mendick picks up some extra playing time in the short term if he continues to hit well.

Mendick is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick will retreat to the bench after he made his first start of the season in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Tigers. The White Sox elected to go with a right-handed-heavy lineup in that game to counter Tigers southpaw Tarik Skubal, and Mendick did his part by going 1-for-4 with an RBI double. Mendick could see one or two starts per week against lefties moving forward, but his at-bats likely won't come on a consistent enough basis to make him usable even in most AL-only leagues.

Mendick will be on the White Sox's playoff roster for the ALDS against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox elected to go with an additional utility player over an extra reliever. Mendick does provide good defensive versatility, as he's appeared at six different positions this season, but he doesn't provide much else. He's a career .239/.298/.342 hitter and isn't much of a weapon as a pinch runner, either, as he has below-average sprint speed and has yet to steal a base in 120 career major-league games.

Mendick was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick gave the White Sox additional infield depth while Tim Anderson was out with a hamstring injury. With Anderson returning from the injured list Tuesday, Mendick is no longer needed and will head back to the minors.

The White Sox recalled Mendick from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder had been optioned to the minors Thursday, but he now rejoins the White Sox to fill the roster spot of Lance Lynn (knee). Granted, Mendick may have been recalled Wednesday anyways, as rosters expand to 28 at the start of September. He figures to get sparse playing time as a backup option across Chicago's infield.

Mendick was optioned by the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Mendick retreated to the bench Wednesday as Tim Anderson returned from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He'll now exit the roster entirely as the White Sox clear a spot for Carlos Rodon (shoulder) to return from the injured list. It's possible Mendick returns when rosters expand in September, as he gives the White Sox cover at several positions off the bench, but his .217/.306/.289 slash line through 66 games this season indicates that he's unlikely to find himself receiving regular at-bats.
